Synthetic Oil Explained

Synthetic oil has grown in popularity in recent years, but it has been around for a very long time. All engine oil is an oil that comes out of the ground. The difference with Synthetic oil is that it includes man-made chemical compounds that alter the oil significantly. There is still crude oil as a major part, but the difference is how it has been treated. The chemical compounds are developed to provide the maximum amount of lubrication possible to the moving parts in your engine.

The Difference Between Synthetic and Conventional

One of the big differences in Synthetic and Conventional oil is the cost. Synthetic costs a lot more, but it lasts longer as well. The synthetic oil lubricates your engine’s parts more effectively, especially in weather extremes. It avoids breaking down so it lasts longer in your engine. Modern turbocharged engines are better protected by synthetic oil as well. Another bonus is that it is better for the environment, but all oil pollutes the air to some degree.

The Best Oil For Your BMW

Almost all new cars require synthetic oil. For all other cars, it is up to you to choose which one to use. There is also a different kind of oil for diesel engines, and even there you may choose between synthetic and conventional oil. If you make short trips and do not drive your car a lot, and it is not brand new, you might do just as well with conventional oil. If your car is older, it may be advisable to move to synthetic oil gradually, so there is a semi-synthetic oil for that purpose.
